some...not all....Harley and the autos going over tariffs mainly....carrier if you remember right just left for cheaper wages....same with AT&T moving all their call centers to india….wages there $2 an hour...can't compete with that...but those fuckers that leave should have to pay....heavily.....hard to bring those jobs back once they are gone....like trump is already finding out
Wake Up, America! Wake Up! PLEASE!!

I’ll be glad when all this crap is behind us - Russia sure got a ton of bang for their buck - sowed an unbelievable amount of dissension for whatever they spent in 2016.
P u t i n must be laughing his arse off :|
I have 2 Harleys and been riding a long time - first Harley was a 47 Knucklehead - I and lots of people I ride with are really pissed at them.
The biggest thing they had going was that they were made in the USA - I think Harley made a HUGE mistake going overseas but it was in the works for years - way before Trump got elected.
knew there was a reason I liked you...….we can agree on something...….but that doesn't mean we will be showering together
Sounds like Trump is doing exactly what the left asked for...
Trump threatens Harley-Davidson: If it moves operations overseas, ‘they will be taxed like never before!’

HD isn't moving overseas, it's only moving part of it's production - the part that makes bikes to sell over seas. They aren't sold here anyways.
Key word here is "some manufacturing".
Harley-Davidson, blaming tariffs, will shift some manufacturing overseas
www.cbsnews.com
Wouldn't make any sense at all to move ALL production out of the country, then pay heavy import tax to sell in the US where the vast majority of their sales are. The bikes built to sell in the states will still be built in the states - well - "assembled" anyways.

President Donald Trump says Harley-Davidson will be "taxed like never before" if it moves production overseas. He claims the U.S. motorcycle company was using increased trade tensions as an excuse to justify planned changes in manufacturing.

Harley has never been the same since they got bought out by a LAWN MOWER manuf company several years ago!....the wiring started being made in Mexico.....the chrome and etc done in germany…….assembly here!
I had a knucklehead years ago....was going down the freeway and just started blowing hot oil all over my leg....got it stopped and tried to take care of my leg...luckly a friend came along....left the fucking bike along side the road!....have had a lot of jap bikes since..hate to admit that.....but always liked riding

they do sell a lot of bikes in the EU
But Harley is a good example of how we have let big biz become to big...….one company owns Harley and about 90% OF THE LAWN MOWERS SOLD.....Murray manuf murray and several other brands to include the john Deere lawn mower.......I needed a new saw a while back and saw a Stanley (used to be a good product) it was everything I wanted ...bought ..got it home...a real piece of *******!....took it back and bought a deWalt….I have a lot of De walt and think they are great and never give me any problems...telling a friend about how bad Stanley was and how good dewalt was...….told they are all made by the same company...and that includes Milwaukee another brand I thought was great...looked it up...it's true!...how can they manuf 2 good products and on the same assy line.. a piece of *******...I could go on about all the big conglomerates any more...taking the price up and the choices out
what happened to the law against monopolies?...….guess those swamp rats...lobbied and got it taken care of....sure eliminates competition.....buy them out!
Yeah - AMF Harleys sucked - all the old Harleys leaked oil but I loved my 47 Knuckle - wish I had it now. Never blew an oil line - but always a puddle under it no matter what I did.
The new Evolution engines run great and no puddles - would love to get another Knucklehead but they’re so damned expensive now :{
evolution ….close to being a jap and still being American....good motor and trouble free
as for AMF....they did put Harley on the stock market....but started the overseas bullshit!
Now - - - if we could just agree on politics ;}
The manner in which you describe how Trump is polarizing America @subhub174014 it would be as if he was a destructive ******* of nature like a hurricane or a tornado when in fact he is just a man like you or me despite being POTUS, having his connections, and being as wealthy as he is, but in many circles I would imagine his five lettered name has become like a four lettered curse word.
well we did agree we wished this was all over....but I'm betting we won't agree on how we want the outcome to be
nothing like you and me.....this guy for one has an ego problem far bigger than both of ours....and must have figured out early on he is an ass....so started lying to try to impress.....and besides what you think...he is a racist....and has taken us back years in civil rights...selling parks and gov land to the oil companies....green... the damage to the air and etc all for money for his friends...on and on...he has fucked up every major dept we have....sold to the highest bidder....one that I'm sure people will notice soon.....taking the restrictions off of what those big trucks can spray out into the air now
a major reason he doesn't want his taxes or income or any of that shown...….if he had to pay all he owes......he couldn't do it...he would be broke!
and yet people want him running our economy....as for him making the economy so great....he inherited a growing economy...and will take him a while to completely fuck it up...but he is getting there …..I live in a very redneck state....and even your trump lovers aren't praising him so much any more kind of quiet on the subject......they know...but refuse to admit they supported the jerk....like some on here...they blindly support the right no matter the person

and the countries biggest cover up continues...even has the justice department in on it now....
Jr and cuckner meeting with the Russians must have been about adoption like trump said
Manafort giving all those polling papers to the Russians....was just showing them how things work over here so they would understand our elections better I guess
stones working with wiki-leaks.....just a part time job to supplement his income while working with the trump campaign
best one....trump firing all those people...depressed about being spied upon
must really think someone will buy all that...but I'm sure the trumpies will....after all would their man lie?
guess I just expected better lies than that!
